Birth of the Ultima...well out of the garage finally !

[paulbuckley]

After nearly 18 months of blood, sweat, and many tears, (with time for only 1 PHEA outing in '09), I'll be hoping to end my poor form and have a first outing at Duxford... assuming the week goes to plan and I get DVLA to issue a reg plate!!

Looks good! Ready for a summer of fun then!

About bloody time.

Says me who hasn't started any of my projects yet apart from making my invisible car less invisible.

Good work.

There's something funny about Ultimas. The moment you park them, all the panels spring up into the air, exposing the insides...

Well done on completing your build. Have you still got a wife/partner lol?

Hope DVLA pull their finger out for you and get you on the road.

Yes, that was me, unless there's another unplated red Ultima lurking in the area! Was on my way to VOSA for IVA test. Passed successfully. Just need to wait for DVLA to sort out reg -by Friday hopefully

That's fine, it's when you're driving along and they do it that it can be problematic

Looks the nuts, what engine have you gone with?

GM LS7 - 7 litre V8 - remapped with approx 545 horses, dry sump lube.

Bet it sounds sweet.
Hope to see you on a run so I can have a good look. The ultima is on my "must own one day list"
